Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)

Using the CLI ppp Command

The ppp command defines the port as a PPP network interface. This command enables a modem

port to support both terminal users and network devices such as work stations and X-terminals.

When the port is reset, it reverts to its original mode: cli, adaptive, auto_detect, or auto_adapt.

After you enter the command, the Model 5390 server displays: switching to PPP, starting LCP

negotiations. Although the ppp command is a

user-level command, it is not displayed by the help command. The superuser help command

displays ppp.

NOTE: If you start a PPP connection by issuing the ppp command, the

PPP client software on your PC must support scripting.
